Deskripsi
How mutations in the microbial receptor NOD2 induce Blau syndrome in humans and related uveitis is unclear. Here the authors show, using Nod2-deficient mice and experimental uveitis, that Nod2 negatively regulates T cell activation and transcription of autoimmunity-related genes to suppress Th17 responses and uveitis.
